Here’s my most recent project, a lovely solid wood Welsh dresser! Hope you like the before/after. Quite a bit of work went into this one - lots of sanding, painting, varnishing and drawer linings! It’s such a classic piece of vintage decor, when furniture was built to last. I hope it finds a lovely new home soon :-)

The piece is now available to view or buy for £375 at the Stuart Porter Antiques & Craft Centre, 15 Broad Street, Stamford :-)

Would anyone like to see a little before and after for a Friday? Then have a little look below! This vintage tallboy was in a pretty poor state when it came to the workshop. It had loads of potential though, and was a beautifully well-made piece, far too good to throw away! So with a coat (or four!) of paint, a beautiful damask-print lining and new shiny crystal knobs it wasn’t long before it found a new home!

So, you may remember a few weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of a before/after I had been working on… Well, good news, it’s finished!

Here’s the before to remind you…

And here’s the After :-)

I loved working on this piece, it is such a beautiful quality piece of furniture. I painted it in the sunshine with several coats of paint, lined the drawers with a beautiful Laura Ashley-print wallpaper and finished with a hard-wearing varnish. I hope it finds a lovely new home soon, if you think you could offer one - or just want to see more pictures of it! - it’s for sale here…

So I was lucky enough to be gifted this gorgeous china cabinet recently, and have been considering what to do with it for a few days now, when I saw this gorgeous cabinet on Design*Sponge, here http://www.designsponge.com/2011/09/sneak-peek-polly-alexandres-london-home.html

I’m thinking off-white paint and chicken wire doors… Watch this space!

This cute little chest of drawers had seen better days, but with a coat of cream paint, new flower knob handles and sanded & waxed drawer fronts, it was given a new lease of life, and a new home!
